Chapter 1-4 Anatomy and
Physiology terms elaborated.
Anatomy - n
ANS ✔✔
the study of the structure of the body

Qs
Physiology - n
ANS ✔✔
the study of the function of the body

Qs
Chemical level - n
ANS ✔✔
Represents the atoms and molecules that make up cells (Consists of Atomic level and
molecular level)

Qs
Cellular level - n
ANS ✔✔
represents the basic unit of all living things

Qs
Tissue level - n
ANS ✔✔
a group of cells with similar or common function

Qs
Organ level - n
ANS ✔✔
a group of tissues with similar or common function

Qs
Organ system level - n
ANS ✔✔
a group of organs with similar or common function

Qs
Organismic level - n
ANS ✔✔
the entire body consisting of the various organ systems.

Qs

, Integumentary System - n
ANS ✔✔
controls body temperature & protects body from environmental hazards

Qs
Skeletal System - n
ANS ✔✔
supports body, protects soft body parts, stores minerals, forms blood cells

Qs
Muscular System - n
ANS ✔✔
movement, support and produces heat

Qs
Nervous System - n
ANS ✔✔
controls immediate responses to stimuli

Qs
Endocrine System - n
ANS ✔✔
controls long-term responses in body

Qs
Cardiovascular System - n
ANS ✔✔
internal transport of nutrients, wastes, oxygen, carbon dioxide and cells

Qs
Lymphatic & Immune Systems - n
ANS ✔✔
defense, immunity and returns lost fluids to cardiovascular system

Qs
Respiratory System - n
ANS ✔✔
exchange of air and delivery of blood gases to/from tissues

Qs
Digestive System - n
ANS ✔✔
ingestion, breakdown and absorption of food & elimination of indigestible wastes

Qs
Urinary System - n

, ANS ✔✔
filtration of blood to maintain proper water and salt balance and to eliminate waste
products

Qs
Reproductive System - n
ANS ✔✔
produces sex cells and hormones related to reproduction

Qs
homeostasis - n
ANS ✔✔
condition in which body's internal environment remains within certain narrow
physiological limits

Qs
homeostatic regulation - n
ANS ✔✔
adjustment of physiological system to maintain homeostasis

Qs
receptor - n
ANS ✔✔
monitors change in controlled condition (stimulus) and sends input to control center

Qs
control (integration) center - n
ANS ✔✔
receives input from receptor & determines appropriate response

Qs
effector - n
ANS ✔✔
cell or organ that receives information (output) from control center and produces a
response (effect)

Qs
interactions of a feedback system - n
ANS ✔✔
stimulus -> receptor -> input (afferent pathway) -> control center -> output (efferent
pathway) -> response

Qs
positive feedback - n
ANS ✔✔

, the response by the effector to the initial change is to further exaggerate the change.
Example in labor contractions, the contraction of the uterus forces the baby towards the
birth canal, which

Qs
places pressure on the cervix; the pressure of the baby against the cervix causes
uterine contraction, etc. - n
ANS ✔✔
...

Qs
Negative feedback - n
ANS ✔✔
the response by the effector to the initial change is to counter or reduce that change,
thus bringing the system back to its "normal" state. Example When blood sugar level
rises, the pancreas secretes

Qs
insulin which causes the cells of the body to take in glucose, thus removing glucose
from the blood and lowering blood sugar level. - n
ANS ✔✔
...

Qs
Anatomical position - n
ANS ✔✔
patient is erect, feet apart and palms facing anteriorly Cephalic = head

Qs
Cranial - n
ANS ✔✔
upper portion of head surrounding brain

Qs
Facial - n
ANS ✔✔
face

Qs
cervical - n
ANS ✔✔
neck

Qs
thoracic - n
ANS ✔✔
